The power of Open Source
Open Source is our craft, community and creed — a global network of people passionate about pooling ideas and sharing the spirit of innovation to push programming forward. We harness its power to deliver enduring impact for ambitious enterprises. We amplify its capabilities to pursue technological excellence for developers. We use it to make software better for everyone.

Contributions
Nearform actively encourages our team to get involved in Open Source in every meaningful way. From contributing to popular Open Source frameworks to our “sauce” hours programme that paves the way for our engineers to get involved in charity and community programmes, Open Source is at the core of what we do.
Global collaboration
Tapping into a pool of global talent means we learn from and with the world’s best developers. We take that knowledge and use it to build great digital solutions for ambitious enterprises.
Reuse, reduce
Mining Open Source lets us use components that have already been built, speeding up development and cutting down delivery time. It means we develop better software, faster.
Freedom to innovate
Working in an open environment gives us the freedom to innovate, getting rid of vendor lock-in, making software easy to integrate and giving clients more control over their ecosystem.
Future-proofing
Building with Open Source makes systems more transparent and secure, reducing bugs and vulnerabilities. So software lasts longer, costs less and performs better.
Sharing our Open Source knowledge
Our experts harness the power of Open Source to craft solutions that leverage the collective knowledge of the global developer community. They innovate, then they educate.
